President Donald Trump ordered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to create a regulatory framework for the “planned development and release into the environment” of mosquito- and tick-control technologies, according to a September 29 executive order published by the White House.
The executive order says that framework must consider “sterilization techniques, safe genetic modification, and use of safe, beneficial bacteria.”
- Where is the informed consent?
- What exactly will be released?
- What has been modified?
- Which bacteria will be used?
- What else will the resulting products contain or carry?
- How far can they travel?
- Who monitors unintended exposure?
- Who is liable if something goes wrong?
- And how does an American who does not consent keep a released organism off their body and off their property?
The executive order does not say.
I do not consent.
